“The events as part of the Labor Day in Brussels have gathered several hundred people during four distinct mobilizations”informs the police area. According to her, three of the demonstrations took place without incident. Only the “demonstration of the extreme left”, having brought together around 1,300 participants, gave rise to “incidents and acts of vandalism, requiring our intervention and the recourse to the sprinkler”, ensures the Brussels police.
According to the police, graffiti have been affixed to different places, while several buildings have been degraded, mainly in Saint-Gilles. Projectiles were launched towards the police, including pavers and bottles. “”Two police vehicles were damaged. A person was arrested for making graffiti “specifies the spokesperson for the area, Ilse Van de Keere.
“Although everyone has the right to demonstrate, we would like to emphasize that such behaviors do not have their place in a peaceful demonstration, and we deplore them deeply”insists the Police Zone. “It is essential that mobilizations take place in peace and that the message remains at the heart of concerns “supports Polbru, which “firmly” condemns any form of violence and insists on the importance of cooperation between all the parties concerned.
